Calm plate gen2

[alekhunts]

So I have a milwaukee drill on a clam plate and I will be running the cabelas 8 inch auger was just wondering would it be a good idea to get the gear box for the clam plate

What model Milwaukee drill ? Will you be using 5 ah batteries as well? When you say Gen 2 you mean the one which does not require the drills chuck to be removed ?

I have the milwaukee hammer drill/driver 12.ah high output battery and don't half to take chuck off

Model number ? Should be on the side of the drill ..2804-20 ..if so you may be fine . What do you mean a Cabelas drill The 8 Inch EZE drill ?

[alekhunts]

Yes it's a 2804-20 and yes will be running the cabelas Eze drill

I run a Mil 2704-20 w/5ah battery ..previous version of the 2804-20 ..on a Clam Plate w/8" HT E-Drill which is similar to the Cabelas 8" EZE Drill ..you should be all set . good luck with your set up . Also Mora/Flat/Shaver  blades on the most models will fit this drill auger bit. If you can get your hands on a set of  StrikeMaster Mora blades these are the best of the bunch as they are stainless steel.

Well one bad grab and I twist of a wrist , .forearm or elbow puts a big damper on your season ..you are more proficient with the Clam Plate ..you can really move along with them .
